Sky News host Rita Panahi says Venezuela is the latest victim of socialism’s ‘toxic dogma’ as the quality of life for its citizens declines, leaving millions suffering and millions more abandoning their home.
Despite owning the world’s largest oil reserves, people have reportedly resorted to eating rats, pets and zoo animals just to survive.
Ms Panahi says no county is ‘immune’ to the ‘misery that accompanies socialism.’
The nation which was once the envy of its South American neighbours now battles inflation that’s reached 1.7 million per cent.
Last month, President Nicolas Maduro was sworn in for a second term, despite many Western nations formally recognising Opposition leader Juan Guaido as interim president.
